Mi Frida Project:
This project was centered around Frida Kahlo. Frida Kahlo was a Mexican painter. She married Diego Rivera, another famous painter. Throughout her life, Frida endured many misfortunes. Including a tragic bus accident in 1925 that resulted in her pelvis being impaled with a handrail. Frida also had multiple miscarriages in her lifetime. The events that happened in her life are reflected in her artwork as well as her feelings revolving around those events.
Throughout this project, we read a short chapter book entirely in Spanish that was a biography of Frida's life. We viewed the 2002 movie titled "Frida" that also illustrated Frida Kahlo's life. We worked with past tenses in Spanish, including the imperfect and the preterite tenses.

The Project:
For the project, we chose somebody to "be our Frida". We wrote a biography on "our Frida" and also completed a painting that had to be based off of one of Frida Kahlo's paintings. I chose my sister, Taye, as my Frida.
